Out of sight, not quite out of mind for cops

A longtime fugitive in Sihanoukville learned on Sunday that you can never escape the long arm – or memory – of the law. According to police, the suspect badly beat a man in a moto robbery in 2008 and fled with the loot.

When he returned to town last week, however, police were waiting. The man was arrested and reportedly told police that after years of roving, he assumed they had simply forgotten about the crime. RASMEI KAMPUCHEA
